Educational institutions are losing students

News Desk: The second week is also coming to an end after the start of the new academic year. Education activities also start at the same time every year after the completion of the admission process. But this time the picture is reversed. Parents are not interested in enrolling their children in the new class. On the one hand, the arrears of tuition fees from March last year, on the other hand, the new class.

A large amount of financial pressure has been placed on the parents. Besides, the parents are not showing interest in admission due to uncertainty about opening the school. And the student has no contact with the university due to the semester fee. The picture of kindergarten is even more grim. On the other hand, the National Curriculum and Textbook Board (NCTB) has prepared three more months of assignments for the students. In the light of 2021 academic year, this assignment has to be done by the secondary students studying in sixth to ninth class.

At the same time, Sangsad TV and online classes will be re-introduced in the new academic year for the students to continue their studies. In addition to this assignment in the new academic year, television and online classes will continue until the school opens. If you are not admitted in the new class, the name will not appear in the new register. Communication will be cut off from the school. As a result, students who do not have a connection with the school will be in trouble. Cannot take part in assignments. As a result, it will fall behind.

The research has shown that the condition of the schools which are lobbying for admission at the beginning of the year is not good this time. The parents of the old students were called on their mobile phones and asked for admission but there was no response. When a teacher informed one of the parents of the students of his institution about the admission, the parents told the teacher, 'How to get the child admitted. Her father does not have a job. It is not possible to pay the arrears of tuition fees and new admission fees. 'The parents are informing the teachers about such helplessness, they are asking for the waiver of the arrears of tuition fees.

Many business parents have lost their capital. Although there are jobs in the private sector, the salaries of many have been reduced. Many have lost their jobs and returned to their villages. As a result, the parents are in financial difficulties. Amirul Islam, a parent, said that the parents' request to the Ministry of Education to reduce the tuition fee during the coronation period was not heeded. Due to this the students are not able to get admission in the school. Parents are harmed in Corona, everyone has to take part in the loss. Even teachers. Even if last year's 9-month tuition fee was waived or halved, parents would be interested in sending their child to school. The guardian requested the Ministry of Education to calculate the number of students who would drop out.

There were 2,000 students in a high school in the capital's Mirpur. But so far only 600 students have been admitted to the school. Nazrul Islam Rony, headmaster of the institution and president of the Bangladesh Teachers Association, said the parents could not pay the tuition fee for nine months due to Corona. It will also cost money to be admitted to the new class. That is why the guardians are not coming to be admitted. Some parents are demanding waiver of last year's entire tuition fee. But considering the issue of teachers' salaries and allowances, it is not possible.

He said, this is the image of the whole country except for a few well-known institutions. The teacher leader feared that 50 percent of the students would drop out. The picture of Mirpur Bangla High School in Mirpur is similar. According to a teacher of the institution, even half of the students have not been admitted now. A former leader of the teachers' association named Bachir Uddin said, where is the problem of education, why? Considering these issues, the government has to decide the decision and strategy.

And the picture of kindergarten is more horrible. Sultan Hossain, the founder of a kindergarten in the capital, said there were 500 students last year. No one paid the tuition fee for 9 months last year. By contacting the students, only 10 students were found who were interested in admission. But it will not work with 10 students. Although the teachers have already left without getting salary and allowance. The owner of the kindergarten has decided to close the institution permanently, said Mizanur Rahman, secretary general of the Bangladesh Kindergarten Association.

"Last time I got 100 students in the play-class at my institution." This time I got only three people. And not even a quarter of the old students are coming. 'He said the condition of kindergarten schools in the country is deplorable. No one is coming for fear of paying arrears. And no one is showing interest in coming to school because the school is not open. The entrepreneur thinks that a large part of the students will return to the school even if the school is not like before. The universities are waiting for the results of HSC.

Their hope is that since this time everyone will pass, after the publication of this result, more students will be admitted. Some universities have given up hope of getting old students back. Engineer Abdul Aziz, the founding engineer of Sonargaon University in the capital, said a large number of private universities could drop out. Many students have already dropped out. They have no contact with the university. He said that the children of lower and middle class families of the university used to bear all the expenses of the university from the money they earned from private tuition.

But these private tuitions have been closed in Corona. In addition, the students who used to work part-time have also stopped. The students of these two classes have returned to the village. They are not communicating with the university. This entrepreneur thinks that these students will drop out. Director General of the Department of Secondary and Higher Education, Prof. Syed Mohammad. Ghulam Farooq said that Mausi has instructed not to take any other fee besides tuition fee. We cannot order reduction of tuition fees.
